HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros know they have to forget about these last three losses quickly.Especially with a playoff berth still within reach.Kole Calhoun had a season-high three hits and two RBI, and the Los Angeles Angels scored nine runs in the final two innings to rally for the second straight game in a 10-4 victory over the Astros on Saturday night.It was another blow for the Astros, who fell to three games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card.This loss came after the Angels scored six runs in the ninth inning on Friday night to win 10-6.Weve just got to move on and come out tomorrow and win, George Springer said. Theres really no secret. We have to win. They know it. We know it and well see what happens.Albert Pujols, Mike Trout and C.J. Cron each added two RBI for Los Angeles.The Angels trailed by three entering the eighth before hitting three straight singles with one out to make it 4-2 and chase rookie Chris Devenski.It was tough, Devenski said. I didnt go out there and do my job ... we just throw it out the door and look forward to tomorrow.Luke Gregerson (4-2) took over and was greeted by a soft liner from Trout which dropped for an RBI single to get Los Angeles within one.A fifth straight single, this one by Pujols, sent home another run to tie it. A wild pitch left Trout at third and he scored on a sacrifice fly by Cron to put Los Angeles on top.This is really uncharacteristic for this bullpen, manager A.J. Hinch said. Theres no other way to explain it.The Angels tacked on five runs in an embarrassing ninth for the Astros. The last run in that inning scored when second baseman Jose Altuve made a bad throw for an error to reliever Pat Neshek, who was covering first base, and Neshek tripped over the base and fell face first to the dirt.Springer had four hits and an RBI and for the Astros, who had won 11 straight over the Angels before this skid.This is a tough stretch for us but thats a good team over there, Springer said. You can never count them out. They always play us tough and they have the last three days. But we have to come out tomorrow and it has to happen.Houston led by two in the seventh before an RBI triple by Springer. Yuli Gurriel followed with a run-scoring single to make it 4-1 before Los Angeles rallied once again.Houston starter Brad Peacock allowed one hit and one run while striking out a season-high seven in five innings.Jhoulys Chacin allowed four hits and two runs -- none earned -- in six innings in his third start since making four appearances out of the bullpen. Jose Valdez (2-3) gave up two runs in the seventh for the win.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: Closer Ken Giles injured his right wrist when he was hit by a line drive during batting practice on Saturday. Trainers ran to the right-hander after he was hit and he remained on his knees on the field for a while before being carted off. X-rays were negative and the team called his injury a bruised right wrist. Giles picked up his fifth blown save this season on Friday night when he gave up six runs in the ninth inning.UP NEXTAngels: Rookie Daniel Wright (0-4, 7.48) looks for his first win Sunday. Wright allowed nine hits and five runs in 4 2/3 innings of a 5-4 loss to Texas in his last start.Astros: Rookie Joe Musgrove (3-4, 4.42) is scheduled to start for Houston. Musgrove didnt allow a hit until the sixth inning of his last start, yielding two hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings of a 2-1 win over Oakland. College Jerseys From China .

Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. OXON HILL, Md. -- Ned Yost enjoyed watching the Cleveland Indians lights-out bullpen go to work in the playoffs because it was so familiar.It was amazing to see -- to watch games and kind of understand the feeling that other teams had against us, the Kansas City Royals manager said.Like the Royals on the way to the World Series in 2015, the Indians mixed and matched relievers, leaning on Andrew Miller for multiple innings in different spots and turning to Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw in big situations. And while the Chicago Cubs even kept closer Aroldis Chapman in longer than usual on the way to the title, managers dont expect the 2016 postseason to change the way bullpens are managed.The postseason management of the bullpen is extremely different than the regular season management, incoming Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday. But what does work (is) if you have those types of relievers that have multi-inning performance, who can throw parts of innings and continue, thats very valuable.Miller pitched two innings or more in seven appearances, and Chapman went 2 2/3 in Game 5 of the World Series -- mostly out of necessity. Cleveland manager Terry Francona conceded at the time he wouldnt be able to use Miller like that during the regular season.Terry is right: You cant do that during the regular season, youre going to blow somebody out, Yost said. But in the playoffs, its a lot easier to do. You got to understand, Andrew Miller, these guys dont grow on trees. They are few and far in between, guys that are that durable that can pitch like he did, especially down the stretch.Millers example isnt changing how teams approach the offseason, either. Boston Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski said his priority was getting an eighth-inning guy, filling a specific role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel, and did so by acquiring right-hander Tyler Thornburg from the Milwaukee Brewers.Manager John Farrell considers it important to define roles over 162 games.If you look at our usage over our last couple of years the one thing that we have had is that one guy other than the closer where weve used (him) at the highest-leverage point in the seventh or eighth inning, Farrell said. Ideally, yeah, you can give the seventh, eighth and ninth inning to three different relievers and let it run out regardless of where you are in the lineup and what the score is on the winning side. I think our main goal is to identify a guy that its not so much a matchup situation.Franconas theoryy -- an evolving one around baseball -- is that the three biggest outs arent always the final ones.dddddddddddd Theres still value in closing, but if the heart of the order is up in the seventh, eighth or even the sixth inning, that could be the spot for a team to use its best reliever.While playing bullpen bingo became popular in the postseason, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin doesnt think its practical during the regular season. It just requires depth and talent, which the Phillies now have more of after signing Joaquin Benoit.The deeper you are in a bullpen the easier it is to go to a real good stopper type pitcher in the sixth or seventh or fifth inning like they were able to do in the World Series, Mackanin said Tuesday. Over the course of a six-month season certainly its harder to do, but the deeper you are in the bullpen the easier it is.Stacking a bullpen with two or three closer types like the Indians gives them a leg up in employing that strategy.I think what teams are trying to do or what successful teams have done have had a seventh- or eighth- or ninth-inning guy, and all three of them can pitch in the ninth inning, Yost said. All three of them can close. When you have that, man, thats a huge advantage late in the game.Even though the new MLB collective bargaining agreement didnt include the addition of a 26th player to rosters, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said theres a trend toward using more bullpen arms. Phillies GM Matt Klentak thinks more off days built into the schedule will help teams if they want to lean more on top relievers, who have more value thanks to the lessons of recent postseasons.As an industry, were appreciating the value that those players can bring, Klentak said, a day after the Giants gave closer Mark Melancon a $62 million, four-year deal, the richest ever for a reliever. During the postseason, as we watched the games and we saw these managers using their elite arms in the higher leverage situation but in earlier innings, we talked a lot internally in the office about whether we thought that was something that might become more mainstream during the regular season. ...I think the fact that some teams had some success with that in October would lead us to think that a lot of managers will probably try that.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum and Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
